Where does a cataloging-only library display on WorldCat.org?

Applies to

  • WorldCat

Answer

When viewing an item record on WorldCat.org, cataloging-only library holdings will display as a basic listing on the All Libraries tab. If you would like your library to appear in the Featured Libraries tab, see: Which OCLC subscriptions include web visibility?

Library types that display on WorldCat.org

Cataloging-only libraries that self-identify Academic Library, ARL Library, Public, Consortium, Group, Library Network or Processing Center, Archives, Museum, Dental Library, Medical Library, Health Library, Hospital Library, Nursing Library, Veterinary library, Government, and State or National Library, Law Library or Music library will display as a basic listing on the All Libraries tab.

If a library does NOT want to display, OCLC can add library symbols to an “Opt Out” table to suppress them from displaying on the All Libraries tab. Contact OCLC Support if you would like to opt out.
